  1. Boy oh boy can I relate to it. I have an eye condition that makes everything blurry and a severe back issue. I can only do about 4 - 5 hours at the bench before the pain is to much. It really sucks getting old.πŸ˜’πŸ˜πŸ˜‰ Ron G
  2. Not to get off topic. But I sure wish someone would make a accurate 1/24 Mack Superliner complete frame. If not a complete one how about just the frame rails. Then you could build a nice truck from the Italeri/AMT kits. Okay, back to your post. Ron G
  3. Okay, you hooked another fish. I like Mack's ( my favourite is the Superliner E9). Great start, I'll be following.🍿πŸ₯€πŸ« Ron G
  4. Hey Jeff Look into Tamiya mica red metallic (in there lacquer line). I know they have it in there lacquer spray cans and I think you can get it in a bottle. Ron G
  5. WOW! Nice job buddy. Engine looks great. I told you it would fit.😁 Ron G
  6. Hey Jeff You could get a couple of large cranes. You could use them to lift the dump box like your removing it, or installing it. That would make a cool 😎 display. πŸ˜πŸ˜† Ron G
  7. Hey all Just a mock-up picture. I have all the axles mounted along with all the brake chambers. This view shows all three wheel types used. The lift axle ones aren't the final ones, there in the mail from Paul at ST Supply. Ron G
  8. DUHH! I tought you would figure it out Pal. πŸ˜πŸ˜†πŸ˜…πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜ Ron G
  9. Hey all Okay, I have the front axle mounted. This view shows the front axle mounted with the front tires in place. The tires are from Jamie at Mo'luminum. They are Bridgestone M844 425/85R 22.5. This view shows the front axle turned right. This view shows the front axle turned left. Side view of the front axle. These are the front tires and wheels. Wheels are from Paul at ST Supply. They are 5 hole Budds that I modified into wide float rims. That's it for now be back with more updates soon. Ron G
  10. Hey guys A little more done on the "BS" Peterbilt. I have the lift Axle in place. View from the top looking down. View from the bottom looking up. You can see the brake chambers and where the air lines will attach. I stole these from my other Revell Peterbilt 359 kit. I will replace them when the ones from RoninUtah get here. View looking forward of the lift axle. View looking to the rear of the lift axle. This view shows the lift axle wheels and tires. These are temporary. They are 22.5's and I have 20.0" wheels and tires coming from Paul at ST Supply. Ron G
  11. I always wanted this kit, but never got around to it. I'll be following this one. Ron G
  12. Hey Boz You need to get ride of the line that runs down the front window pillar to the hood, on both sides. It should not be there. The horizontal one from the door opening to the hood is okay. Ron G
  13. Hey James Your killing it man! This is going to be great when you get it done. Ron G
  14. You can get some from Pappyhobbys in Canada. I think they are around $70.00 bucks. Ron G
  15. Not on a heavy haul tractor. When you get 170,000 lbs. Rolling you need to be able to STOP! 😁 Ron G
